Cat tien national park for sure is a must see for nature lovers. The forest itself is very impressive, full of life and wild animals. We saw there more than 50 species of birds, crocodiles, pangolins, different deers, giant lizards, cobras, gibbons and many interesting insects.

Remember it's the Jungle hot and high humidity. The park accross the way a gem. Need a few days to walk and explore. They have leech socks to rent if it rains and yes you need them but no problems they are small suckers. They stay to shoes and leech socks. Fun trips through real jungles!

We spent one afternoon w 1 hour private tour (5 persons cost 850) saw an huge tree and monkies, it was very nice. At 7 pm we went on night tour w many others on a bus, it was ok we saw a lot of deers and 2 porkypines. Day after we took bus 9 km and the walked 4 km to the crocodile lake. It was a really nice walk and we saw monkeys on the way. At the lake we bought drinks and spotted some crocodiles before heading back for 3 pm bus to ho chi minh. A very good trip with our family.

I absolutely love Cat Tien. As soon as I am able to travel, I will be back. It has amazing wildlife, including crocodiles, clouded leopards, pangolins, birds, snakes, monitor lizards, monkeys, etc. If you're in to nature and wildlife, I wouldn't miss this park.

The Bears Rescue Center is worth to visit and we were lucky enough to see the Gibbons (once released into the wild ) moving through the canopy and singing to get her with the Gibbons in the cages. Our boat ride on the river in the late afternoon was beautiful and we watched a lot of birds there. Only the night Safari, provided by Hotel in the Nationalpark, is not worth to do. You sit on a truck together with about 20 other tourists. The truck is moving much too fast for animal watching at night and you bite a lot of dust. The only animal you see for sure are some Sambar-Deer. We were lucky to have two givets as well close to the road, but only the first row on the truck could really get a good look on them, because these people were standing up so that the others could not see much. If you everything did a Night Safari anywhere in the World, you will be disappointed about this Tour.

Everything was great, there are many chances to see wild animals but when visiting crocodile lake manage your expectations because it's very hard to spot then during the day and without crocs it's just a regular lake but the trail leading to it is amazing so enjoy the process
